The Derby Vegan Market, founded in 2018, has become a beloved event in Derby, bringing together ethical vendors, artisan bakers, craft brewers, and sustainable product creators. Held three times a year at Cathedral Green, right in the heart of the city next to the Museum of Making, the market is a vibrant celebration of conscious living.
Yesterday’s event was a huge success, with many visitors exploring vegan and sustainable products—including a standout Nigerian product from House of Alayo, owned by Ola Kinoshi.
House of Alayo: Authentic Nigerian Shea Butter by Ola Kinoshi
House of Alayo offers luxurious whipped shea butter, made from pure shea butter sourced and crafted in Nigeria by business owner Ola Kinoshi. This authentic product is carefully whipped to create a velvety texture that deeply hydrates and softens the skin while leaving a beautiful lasting scent.
Ola Kinoshi brings the rich heritage and quality of Nigerian shea butter to the UK market, selling directly to customers who want natural, effective skincare with a touch of elegance.
Visitors to the Derby Vegan Market enjoyed sampling from House of Alayo’s signature collection of scents, including:
- Velvety Vanilla (warm Madagascar vanilla)
- Strawberry Seduction (sweet ripe strawberry)
- Rare Oud (bold and smoky)
- Radiant Citrus (zesty and uplifting)
- Calming Lavender (soothing bedtime scent)
- Elegant Geranium (fresh floral)

House of Alayo’s whipped shea butter is loved for its versatility—it’s perfect for dry and sensitive skin, hair, scalp, and even expecting mothers looking for gentle, natural care.
